What can a young person study at Lewisham College?
Lewisham College offers a wide range of vocational courses at a
variety of levels. Our courses focus on providing students with
practical skills that they can use to progress in work and
education.
Pre Entry Qualifications
Youth Entry to Further Education (YEFE)
Our
YEFE course has been specially designed to allow young people
who have been out of education for a while to get a flavour of a
range of subject areas while developing study skills and providing
support for personal development.
Pre Entry - Entry Level ESOL
If English isn't your child's first language, then we have a
course especially for them.
This pre-entry level course is an intensive English language
course which can lead to other College courses or employment.
Please note: this Skills for Life course is free (including
registration fee) for eligible students.
Apprenticeships
As employees, apprentices earn a wage and work alongside
experienced staff to gain job-specific skills. Off the job, usually
on a day-release basis, apprentices receive training to work
towards nationally recognised qualifications. Anyone living in
England, over 16 and not in full-time education can apply.

BTECs
Our BTEC courses can be the equivalent of up to three A levels,
but unlike A levels, they aren't exam based. Students instead
complete a number of units, and are assessed on how they perform in
their coursework. At Lewisham College, we offer BTECs in a wide
range of areas, from art to computing.

NVQs
NVQs are often job specific, and they are created and delivered
in partnership with employers. NVQs prove you can do a particular
job. Getting an NVQ means that you have the skills, knowledge and
understanding to perform effectively in a job. At Lewisham College,
we offer three levels of NVQ in courses from beauty to
bricklaying.

Diplomas
The Diploma is a qualification for 14 to 19 year-olds, offering
them a more practical, hands-on way of gaining the essential skills
employers and universities look for. The Diploma is flexible, so
students can combine it with GCSEs and A levels. Designed in
partnership with employers and universities, the Diploma can lead
on to further study - or to work.
